The Distant Future
Herewith, Sub Pop's debut release from New Zealand's 4th most popular folk-comedy duo (and, yes, okay, also current HBO phenoms), Flight of the Conchords. The Distant Future EP includes Business Time, If You're Into It, and Not Crying, as well as live versions of The Most Beautiful Girl in the Room and Robots. Plus, there's live banter! We will be releasing a Flight of the Conchords full-length recording sometime in early 2008.

The Distant Future Reviews
I was a fan of these guys since before I saw this and got it as a gift for a friend of mine. He laughed so hard he almost wet himself.
The subtle ironies and slight jabs at psychological denial of a lover's rejection are absolutely brilliant. Finally, the disc ends with "Robots," which, like "I'm Not Crying" and "The Most Beautiful Girl in the Room," is extremely good at subtlely poking fun at its subject matter. "The Most Beautiful Girl in the Room" is quite funny. The between-songs "Banter" is hilarious; a good chance to hear the two guys interacting with the crowd. We move on to "If You're Into It," and hey, more sex.
This time, the singer is encouraging a girl to have sex with some other guy. The last three tracks were from a live performance in NYC. Once you get past those two, the rest of the disc is very good. This disc has five songs, and two of them are about sex. "I'm Not Crying" is, without a doubt, the best Conchords song yet. So, in the end you get three very clever songs, a few minutes of good dialogue, and two repulsive songs about sex. Flight of the Conchords should have done a little more brainstorming when trying to come up with things to sing about. The opening track, "Business Time," is a rhythm-driven slow jam with the singer breathily monologuing about having sex with his wife/girlfriend.
Is it worth five bucks. not a very welcoming way to start off your very first disc release. The good mostly outweighs the bad. Sure, go for it.
Love the band, the songs. Bring back the HBO show. So funny and great music.
These songs are hilarious. However, a couple of my husband & I's favorites from the first season are not on it. :(
This one would too but is just way to short, thats' the only drawback. Wait till the full album comes out, run to the store, order it from here just get it anyway you can. The next album will definitely be getting five stars. So if you haven't bought this one yet Don't. Fantastic the only thing better than this is the upcoming album, even my wife loves it and tries to sing along.
